Xiao Li stared at the words on Xiao Huangben for a while.
To be honest, if these words were said by a stranger, or even someone he knew in reality, he wouldn't even respond.
But maybe Xiao Huang Ben has been with him for a long time, and there are really few such existences around him. With this layer of filter on, he could faintly see a little from Xiao Huang Ben's words - confused? There was even some panic and distress.
Quite a teenage "I like him so much, but why doesn't he like me and what can I do to make him like me?".
It's just that Xiao Huangben is not a harmless teenager, but an indescribable evil existence.
In fact, everyone has some evil thoughts more or less, but most people restrained them because of the three moral values of human beings themselves, but Xiao Huangben does not have these constraints. All his current patience and concessions are just because of love one person.
These two emotions paired with Xiao Huangben's own existence, inexplicably made Xiao Li feel a somewhat contradictory cuteness, the kind of candor that wouldn't be annoying.
He unconsciously curled the corners of his lips, unscrewed the cap of the pen and wrote a line of words below: [... Then just bear with it, ah.]
Xiao Huangben: [If one day, I can't help it, and I really treat you like I described, will you be angry?]
Xiao Li tried to imagine such a scene: [Yes.]
Xiao Huangben: [Will you ignore me or even hate me?]
Xiao Li repeated: [Yes.]
Xiao Huangben fell silent, as if in his mind Xiao Li ignored him and hated him, and then murmured a few words: [Don't ignore me.]
[I can't stand you ignoring me, let alone hate.]
Compared to his emotional instability, Xiao Li's answer was very simple: [Then you can hold back.]
Prevent this from happening at the source.
Xiao Huangben: [… ]
Simply put, it's not conscientious.
He sighed again, flipped the page, and closed himself voluntarily.
Xiao Li laughed, and then reached out to open the small yellow book, when he heard the door creak, and a tall young man came out from the door with a box of lunch in his hand.
Shen Mizhi put the rice on Xiao Li's table, dragged a chair from the side, and sat beside him.
The young man's facial features are handsome, his eyes fell on Xiao Li, his voice was seven-pointed soft, and three-pointed helpless: "I don't know what you want to eat, so I brought some."
"Thank you," Xiao Li took apart the chopsticks and asked casually, "How about you?"
Shen Mizhi said briefly: "I have eaten."
Xiao Li gave a vague "um". When he was about to finish the meal that Shen Mizhi had brought, the sky outside was completely dark, and another night enveloped the future paradise.
The rest of the reincarnations returned to the dormitory one by one, their faces not heavy, but at least there was no smile.
Xiao Li bit a piece of fried chicken wing and looked at Fu Guangbo and others, and asked with his eyes:
Fu Guangbo shrugged: "I didn't hear anything. Annie said that the office building has always been unmanned, and only the exhibition hall needs to be patrolled. I don't understand why we were suddenly arranged to patrol the office building."
"We asked about the same thing, we don't know anyway." Chen Jinghan and Zhang Kaixue said together.
Zheng Yi suddenly raised his hand with a strange look on his face: "I quietly asked the staff downstairs of Mr. Sun, saying that I was a new security guard, and asked if there were any rumors of haunting here, but she told me a story, It sounds like a joke, but I'm afraid there's something wrong, so I still want to tell everyone."
"what story?"
"She said... There used to be a programmer here, he wrote code overnight, but he was not appreciated by the leader. Not only that, he used C, and the enemy who prevented him from getting the year-end bonus was still saying 'JAVA in his ear' No. 1 in the world!', so he was angry to death. Until now, sometimes there is a sound of tapping the code in this office building late at night." Zheng Yi repeated it truthfully.
After he finished the story, there was a moment of silence in the air.
Xiao Li: "...Pfft."
He couldn't help laughing.
"It's a completely different painting style from the exhibition hall." Fu Guangbo couldn't help but complain, "She thinks the question you asked is too funny and amusing you?"
Zheng Yi couldn't hold his face, he touched his nose embarrassingly: "I'm not afraid of any traps, I just want to tell Hercule, what if?"
Xiao Li had stopped smiling, and he returned to his normal appearance: "Well, thank you, it's very useful."
At least at that moment, the air was filled with a happy atmosphere.
"real?"
"Pleasant words."
"… "
Zheng Yi turned his head silently, looked at the alarm clock hanging on the wall, and directly changed the subject: "It's time to go on patrol."
This time is not too late, but the future park is already empty. From tourists to staff, no one is left, so the whole office building does not seem to be popular at night.
If the pavilion at night is a cemetery, then this tall office building is more like a huge tombstone, square and square, standing in the dark.
Without lights, the office building cannot turn on the lights at night, and the reincarnators can only use flashlights.
The whole office building is very high, with 20 floors, but fortunately, President Sun only asked them to patrol the floor where President Sun was, which was the twentieth floor, the top floor.
The air was filled with the wet smell of mud. The dark clouds in the sky seemed to be full of water droplets, but they did not fall. The weather was much worse than last night.
I don't know what will happen tonight, if I can survive.
Fu Guangbo hugged his arms in pain, turned on the flashlight with his right hand, and walked inside.
Such office buildings generally have elevators, and the stairs are rarely used by people, but in the dungeon world, the elevator is a very dangerous thing - once the door is blocked by something, it is equivalent to death, because the elevator is an iron box. , where people have nowhere to hide.
Therefore, in the world of reincarnators, it is customary to choose stairs.
Fu Guangbo immediately wanted to go up the stairs. He was the first to open the door of the stairwell. Just as he turned around and wanted to greet the others, he saw Xiao Li walked straight through the stairwell and came to the elevator. He reached out and pressed the elevator up. button.
Fu Guangbo: "Don't take the stairs?"
Xiao Li said calmly, "The twentieth floor, you can climb up first."
Back then when he was in Fenhua Hospital, he didn't even want to go down from the fifth floor, but now that he was on the 20th floor, it was killing Xiao Li.
Fu Guangbo thought about it: "...I, forget it, I'll be with you."
Walking 20 floors in the stairwell alone sounds more like a death act.
With a "ding-" sound, the elevator arrived.
Warm orange light leaked from the elevator, which was empty.
The elevator is like a warm home, using orange light to lure the reincarnators in, and then swallowing them with a mouth.
Xiao Li and Shen Mizhi walked in side by side, followed by Ye Zeqing and Zheng Yi, while Fu Guangbo and others thought about Hercule's series of performances in the exhibition hall, and walked in resolutely.
Zhang Kaixue was the last to enter the elevator, and then the elevator doors began to gradually close.
However, just as the two doors were about to close, the elevator door seemed to have touched something and was pushed open to both sides, failing to close smoothly.
That feeling is like a "person" who is catching an elevator, sticking his hands in the crack of the door to prevent the elevator from closing.
But everyone in the elevator opened their eyes wide, and they didn't see a single person at the door.
Is... a ghost
Chen Jinghan involuntarily retreated behind the elevator, as if this would give him some sense of security.
No one came in.
After more than ten seconds, the elevator door was about to slowly close again, but bounced open again in the middle. At the same time, at the end of the door opposite the elevator, there seemed to be a faint shadow of Zhuozhuo walking towards it.
"Let's escape, shall we?" Fu Guangbo only felt his scalp explode, "I was caught in a urn here."
"It's still too late to run out now... Hercule?"
Chen Jinghan and others walked to the door with Fu Guangbo to see Xiao Li, but Xiao Li had no intention of leaving.
The shadow's movements seemed slow, but the walking speed was very fast, and in almost a blink of an eye, he arrived at the elevator entrance, standing outside the circle where the orange light could shine.
Done!
Fu Guangbo thought to himself, this is good, he was directly blocked by ghosts.
However, the shadow didn't mean to move forward, I don't know if it was an illusion, it even seemed a little hesitant.
The shadow didn't move, and Xiao Li didn't move either. The elevator door lost its restraint and continued to close after ten seconds.
This time Xiao Li stretched out his hand and held down the "Open outward" sign, forcing the elevator door to open again, and at the same time he stuck his head out: "Aren't you coming in?"
The attitude is still very friendly, as kind as a colleague who wants to go upstairs with him.
When Fu Guangbo heard this, he didn't come up in one breath, and almost collapsed on the spot.
Invite a ghost to take the elevator with you? !
Because of Xiao Li's actions, he could roughly see the shadow's appearance. The shadow looked like a person, but water droplets were all over his body, and his body had a fishy smell. He hid in the dark and couldn't see his face. .
"Come in, what floor are you going to?" Xiao Li asked again, but this time the shadow across from him didn't answer.
Not only that, but it even took a small step back to show its attitude.
Xiao Li tried several invitations to no avail, and said "tsk", "It's fine if you don't come up."
He also let go of his hand and let the elevator door close inward.
Fu Guangbo's heart was beating nervously, he took a deep breath, and a word had slipped out of his mouth: "It, why doesn't it come up?!"
Xiao Li thought for a while, and said casually, "It should be because there are too many of us, so it doesn't feel safe."
Fu Guangbo: ? ?
Hercule, it's not because of the crowd, is it just because of you? !
- Ghosts will feel insecure when facing Hercules, and strange knowledge has increased.
